―Sir, are you okay?
Vaughan was holding a tall glass of water, which Calvin happily took.
His back hurt, and he could only remember the vague outlines of what had happened.
―What happened?

Thank you Vaughan, I owe you.
―Sir, Vaughan started hesitantly. You might need to be careful with that.
We don't know what Yakaterina wants, and she could be trying to trick you.
We don't know what Yakaterina wanted, and she could have been trying to trick you.
Or somehow convert you over to the Hierarchy.
―I know, Vaughan.
Calvin sighed.
―If I want to use this, I'll have to learn how to control it.
Clearly it's a powerful tool, but I'm not really sure what happened.
I think I felt the stone table and helped it become soil, somehow?
The manual just talked about a breathing exercise, not actually doing anything.
Calvin stood.
He felt okay on his feet.
The two books were lying on top of the pile of dirt, and looked unchanged.
He opened up the notebook, and saw he'd written down what the Voice had said to him.
―Vaughan, I think it was the Voice somehow.
I wrote down that it said I could help my people, but why?
Am I doing something wrong by wanting to help them?
―Do you remember anything about what you were thinking when it happened?
―Not really.
It was fuzzy, images of soil and grass.
Vaughan gave Calvin a worried look.
―Calvin, are you sure we should be here?
If we're back home, we could talk to some scholars, or if you trust what Yakaterina told you, maybe Auroklos would know more?
But we're out of our depth, right?
It's not just politics anymore, this is all of us yaks, and it might be irresponsible to do it alone.
―Auroklos was pretty clear that Mountberg was our only hope.
Maybe the voice was trying to get me to go home to help the people there?
Unless it wanted me to go to Mountberg?
Argh!
―Sir, we're not going to figure this out right now.
You need to rest a minute, and we'll have to figure out what our options even are.
We'll talk to the chief and see how far away Mountberg will be, and make a decision then.
Sound good?
―Yeah, thanks Vaughan.
Sounds good to me.
―I'll make sure you get some privacy, get some rest and I'll see you soon.
And please don't try anything else from that book.
Vaughan left the room, and Calvin tried his best to quiet his troubled thoughts as he drifted into a light nap.
